Hi,

It may be due to fungal infections like jock itch.

You can apply topical anti fungal ointment like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief. Keep the area dry by cleansing with soap and water.

If symptoms persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
